Hi, i have a site constructed the same way as http://www.ashwebstudio.com/, and they both have the same problem.
If the browser width is made sufficiently small (so horizontal scroll bars appear) and then you then scroll the page to the right, the strips that should extend the width of the viewport get cut off, and the page breaks down. Can this be fixed please?
Thanks very much
Set min-width for Standard
Set min-width for Standards Compliant browsers and look for a solution for the others here :

To explain what happened
To explain what happened ...
Block elements by default take on a width+padding+borders+margins of 100%. That is 100% of their parent, which in the case of the body element will be the browser width. So as soon as you have to scroll horizontally your page is greater than the browser width, ie. > 100%.
thanks
Thanks for the explanation - its all clear now.
